A novel reactor based on a bubble column staged by structured catalytic layers with integrated cross flow micro-heat-exchangers (HEX) was designed and tested in the solvent free hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) aiming on process intensification ...
Different types of microstructures and their applicationswith respect to the synthesis and the use of ionic liquids are presented. Microstructured reactors are suitable for reactions with fast intrinsic kinetics, requiring high mass and heat transfer perfo ...
Gas cooling in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has a long history, the corresponding reactor types developed in France, the UK and the US having been thermal neutron-spectrum systems using graphite as the moderator. The majority of NPPs worldwide, however, are ...
This chapter is a summary of recent advances in microreactors, which have become increasingly important in process development and chemical research. Microstructured chemical reactors are characterized by dimensions in the submillimeter range and, thus. su ...
Liquid-liquid biphasic reactions play an important role in the chemical and pharmaceutical Industries The liquid-liquid slug flow capillary microreactor offers considerable potential benefits over the conventional liquid-liquid contactors Though the hydrod ...
A novel microreactor with structured catalytic wall (SCWMR) has been developed for highly exothermic, gas/solid reactions and tested for the selective acetylene hydrogenation. The reactor design is similar to the so-called "slit microreactor". The structur ...

The kinetics of oxidation and disinfection processes during ozonation in a full-scale reactor treating secondary wastewater effluent were investigated for seven ozone doses ranging from 0.21 to 1.24 g O-3 g(-1) dissolved organic carbon (DOG). Substances re ...
The exothermic reactions with fast intrinsic kinetics when carried out in conventional reactors are often limited by heat transfer. This results in the formation of hot spots, which affects product distribution of complex reactions and may lead to reactor ...
